R help - Jun 2006 - Comparing partial response curves from GAM

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone is aware of formal approaches and tools
for comparing partial response curves produced in GAM? My interest is in
determining if two partial response curves are "statistically"
different. I
recognize that point-wise standard error estimates can be produced using the
GAM package but Im not certain how to translate this into a statistical test
for the entire curve. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks. Solomon

Can you give a bit more information on exactly what you want to compare? 
(maybe give example models). There are ways of comparing curves, but it is 
a bit context dependent.
